Like humans' other organs, blood vessels may also be aging and hardening. Vascular aging, on one  hand causes blood vessels to become narrow, resulting in insufficient blood supply oxygen and other symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, dizziness, weakness and so one; on the other hand, it increases the vascular fragility, reduces the flexibility , and induces easily the plaque rupture within blood vessels or vascular, which result in myocardial infarction or sudden death.

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of aging of blood vessels

Under the effects of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking and other risk factors, human's blood vessels are gradually aging; vascular endothelial cell is damaged; endothelial function is abnormal; platelets are in patial adhesion, aggregation and release of various vasoactive substances, causing blood vessels endometrial hyperplasia, mononuclear cells in the patial infiltration, vascular smooth muscle cells in the middle deformation proliferation, which devour lipid and form foam cells, thereby atherosclerotic plaque is formed.

As for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease, protecting the blood vessels is the key. Therefore, how to obtain the overall and effective protection of blood vessels through targeted drug therapy then becomes the common concern issues of doctors and patients.
